In Photos: New Baltimore Celebrates Memorial Day with Annual Parade

Residents and city officials lined the streets to pay their respects to local veterans.

The annual usually attracts hundreds of citizens to the downtown area to honor local veterans, and this year was no exception.

Many people, some adorned in red, white and blue and others who brought their children and pets to watch the fun, came out to support.

"It's such a great sense of community," said New Baltimore resident Barb Matthews. "It's so nice to see how many people were here today to support these veterans."

Madryn Johnson, and her husband, Roy, who live a few streets away, say they can't imagine missing the parade. 

"We're happy that we live so close and it's very easy for us to come here," said Madryn. "The number of veterans on the floats passing by is just wonderful."
